I’ve officially joined the board of La French Tech Dublin! As my first initiative, I’m proud to lead the launch of the "Sales in Tech" community, powered by La French Tech Dublin. This community is designed to bring together tech sales professionals based in Ireland with a connection to France. It’s a space where we can exchange ideas, share experiences, and support one another, whether you’re looking to grow professionally or simply connect socially with like-minded peers. So, if you’re in tech sales and want to be part of a dynamic, collaborative community, this is for you! With Caroline Viguier we’re gearing up for our first event, and we’ll be calling for members soon.

🇮🇪 Strengthening Irish-French Collaboration on AI and Digital Innovation 🇫🇷 As Ireland deepens its partnership with France in digital innovation, we are pleased to highlight the work of Clara Chappaz, France’s Secretary of State for #AI and #Digital #Affairs. Under her leadership, France is advancing an ambitious vision to position itself—and Europe—as a global leader in #AI and digital transformation, offering valuable insights for Ireland as we navigate similar challenges and opportunities. Secretary Chappaz’s four priorities outline a roadmap that reflects shared European values: 1️⃣ Harnessing AI for societal benefit Through the €2.5 billion #France2030 initiative, France is investing in AI research and adoption across businesses and public services. This approach underscores how governments can align innovation with societal impact, a priority Ireland also shares. 2️⃣ Empowering innovative start-ups France’s thriving #FrenchTech ecosystem, home to 25,000 start-ups creating over 1.3 million jobs, is a testament to its commitment to entrepreneurial growth. Secretary Chappaz’s focus on funding, partnerships, and easing regulatory barriers offers lessons for Ireland’s dynamic start-up environment. 3️⃣ Ensuring a secure and innovative digital space Balancing regulation with innovation, Secretary Chappaz is driving initiatives to protect data sovereignty, enhance cybersecurity, and address online harms. These efforts resonate with Ireland’s own goals for a safe and secure digital economy. 4️⃣ Promoting an inclusive and sustainable digital future With programs such as #TechPourToutes, which aims to inspire 10,000 young #women to pursue careers in technology, and accessibility-focused AI tools, Secretary Chappaz is championing a vision for digital inclusion and diversity—priorities Ireland also holds dear. This work underscores the potential for greater Irish-French collaboration to shape a European approach to AI and digital governance that fosters innovation, security, and inclusion.  The visit today of Henri Verdier 🇫🇷 French ambassador for digital affairs at Ministère de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères to Ireland 🇮🇪 has laid the foundations for a fruitful dialogue on these issue ! 🗓 take part in the #AI #Action #Summit in Paris on 10 and 11 February 2025 https://lnkd.in/d2cXY3bE 🌍 Together, we can advance a shared vision for a stronger, more resilient digital future.  Embassy of France in Ireland, Ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche, La French Tech Dublin #AI #IrishTech #FrenchTech #DigitalTransformation #France2030
